I don't have any answers to your questions I just wanted to say that I am so happy that they may of found the answer to these contractions! Yay! Thats great news!
Thank you Amy!! I know...it's better than nothing. At least I have SOMETHING that could be causing the contractions. I feel a lot better and I'm glad I had that discharge....otherwise, I'm not sure she would have taken a sample to test it. Everything happens for a reason.
Well - they aren't sure what causes it, but think it is related to an imbalance of bacteria in you hoo hoo. It is really important to take the antibiotics, since you are pregnant, so you don't go into pre-term labor. It all makes sense.
Glad you are feeling better......
Yay- glad you can treat it!!!
Thank you! I'm glad she caught it now. Of course I am still a little worried about things, but feeling much better about it today. Still on bedrest so I don't aggravate anything and cause more problems. I can't wait for my u/s next week!
BV is just the oposite of a yeast infection. Yeast infection you get more yeast in your vagina and it kills off the good bacteria to keep it balanced and its acidic as hell that's why it irritates, burns and you get discharge (yeast is the stuff that's used in breads so that's why there's soooo much discharge its nasty).
BV is the contrary, more bacteria take over your vagina and the most that it does is that you get horrible stench and sometimes it itches.
Pregnant women have their immune system compromised so your body doesn't react as well to growing bacteria. Sometimes you get it from the heat it, tight pants, a rough sex night...anything really.
Its just an imbalance in your PH that causes one or the other. The antibiotic will take care of it.
I'm glad she caught it. Sometimes something so easy and obvious is overlooked.
Thanks a ton! I appreciate it. My mom has always had yeast infections and even had one while she was pregnant with my little brother. He ended up with thrush. I had no signs of anything, so I guess that's why my doc never thought about it.
Im glad they have some sort of answer for you. Lets hope you finish your meds and it takes care of the problems you have been having. How exciting about the 3D/4D u/s!! I had an u/s at 32 weeks and the tech refused to do a 3D/4D because she said baby was to big to get any good pictures,(cry):( Are you going to try and sneak a peak at the goods?? I would be so tempted!!!
Tabitha....yea we'll see what happens! Contractions are picking up again now after not having any all day! ugh. I can't get a break. At least I haven't dilated anymore.
I know...I am so excited about the 3D/4D u/s! I want to see what this baby looks like so I can compare the pics to Jeremiah's. I will be 29 weeks the same time I had it done with my son. haha...I am going to be a GOOD girl and not sneak a peek...but hey..if it just so happens to *pop* up out of nowhere...what can I do?? LOL
Im glad she changed your doseage.. That should help... Im also glad BV is treatable... Keep us posted!
Yea..last night she told me I could, and I think it's had some effect, thankfully. I should by next week how things are looking regarding the infection and all. Hopefully this will be the answer.
